Thank You

Let me tell you how God does things.

I cannot comprehend it, but I refuse to allow my lack of understanding prevent me from telling His story.

If you remember my post from June 1^st, I shared that I felt God calling me to stay in Uganda longer than expected.  I just wasn’t sure how I could make it work. It was actually a very scary decision; one that I believed would affect all aspects of my life. And it did, just not the way I expected.

I sent my boss an email explaining the situation and asked if he wanted me to write a resignation letter. He said there would be no need for that. They would keep me as inactive and give me my job back when I return.

I had to change my plane ticket. I tried changing it through Delta, then through Orbitz, but they wouldn’t allow it. “There are no more flights matching that exact route. You’ll have to purchase a new ticket.” At that point, tickets were $1,200. One way. Money I don’t have. On a last resort call to KLM airlines, they granted a date change for a fee of only $300.

Someone told me that they didn’t know how, but believed that in 24 hours I would have $50 more than I did before. 12 hours later, I received double from somewhere that I still can't explain.  A week later, I met a new friend here. In a short amount of time, she wanted to give me $1,000. More than enough to cover my stay for the next month.  Our organization did a rescue and we needed funds to provide for them. I messaged specific people that I knew would pray and support, which is exactly what they did. We raised $250 in less than 2 days. A child in Kyampisi got Chicken Pox. God provided the money for his injections and medicine.  My sister decided to come to Africa. God moved a dentist to provide toothbrushes, toothpaste, and floss to bring with her. People are donating shirts and blankets and books. It’s honestly unreal.

I think the most beautiful thing is seeing God’s people move as they’re called.

So this blog is just to thank you.

Thank you for believing in and investing in these people.
